A Remote ID Solution for Fixed Wing RC
In this video I will go over a proposed strategy and plan such that fixed wing radio control aircraft can get relief from the FAA and remote ID. In short, a remote ID solution for fixed wing RC.
The FAA is an organization 100% focused on safety. As RC modelers speak and meet with the FAA on remote ID, they must emphasize that RC pilots contribute to aviation safety.
For now we do not do this as there are numerous flights of RC airplanes, primarily drones, into controlled airspace.
By separating drones from fixed wing aircraft we can show the FAA, after a period of time, that fixed wing pilots are safe operators and that we follow the rules as demonstrated by us staying within FRIA (FAA Recognized Identification Area) boundaries and out of controlled airspace.
